Not that I’m tired of model railroading, but just for the heck of it I thought I’d see what else you guys - and girls might be into in the way of hobbies.
Personally, I collect robots, WWII 12" German action figures (mainly officers) and R/C items such as cars, flying craft, etc. I also build things once in a while like the life size Frankenstein I built last October for Halloween. I use to build wooden models from scratch of everything from guns to airplanes to ships but had to give it up due to health reasons. I also use to be into cowboy action shooting but the popularity of that died down. Once in a while I might get a .22 rifle or pistol out and do a little target shooting out back of my house here where I have a firing range. And that’s about it for me…
Do you consider throwing money into a hole in the water a hobby?[:-^] String and RC planes when I was young. Used to enjoy building those stick balsa paper covered planes. Slot car phase for a while too.
I switch back and forth between building Hot Rods and Modeling Trains.
Current project is a 1987 Chevy S-10 Extended cab shortbed Tahoe edition Pickup, Ground up restoration, repowered with a 1969 327 cid small block and PowerGlide. Slightly Lowered, 8 inch wheels up front, 10 inch wheels out back, all Polyuethane bushings, all Stainless Steel fluid lines.
Last Project was a 1967 Camaro. 327/4 spd. Ground-up restore with similar treatments.
Used to be into R/C airplanes (72 inch w.s. Trainers), R/C Trucks (Tamiya Big Brute Toyota 4x4) and Off-Roading (with a small group of friends, mostly with Toyotas and Jeeps).
Spring and Fall- I am at the gun club and frissbee golf.
Summer-camping and a large collection of hobby R/C cars and a R/C tiger tank that shoots pellets. When it gets into the 100 degree temps I will go back into the MRR and gaming.
Film production (I’d actually like this one to be more of a profession someday), creative writing, and plumbing… Well, that last one is more out of necessity these days. [banghead]
I used to play Ultimate Frisbee from spring through fall. Then I got too old to keep up with the many other twenty-somethings that played. Frisbee golf is probably more my speed these days. [swg]
My other Hobbies are collecting Diecast cars, ATVing, hunting, fishing, gardening(I’m planning a garden railroad this year), drag racing my Trans Am, restoring old cars, R/C car racing and building model cars. As for sports I play hockey and baseball.
well lets see now…wife and i keep five freshwater tropical fish tanks.im also a ham radio operator as well as an avid short wave radio listener.also like to put together electronic kits.lots of hobbies…but life is to short.trying to do it all while im still able.terry…
I enjoy photography. Curiously, I don’t really take much in the way of model train pics. I am more interested in natural subjects and the occasional “real” train. Oh, of course, and pictures of my baby! Me and the wife both like to cook which has become a sort of hobby for us too.
